SOC-E

Overview

ITS is an IRIG 200-04 compliant time synchronization slave / time receiver for FPGA. This IRIG-B slave / time receiver IP has been designed to support multiple IRIG-B coded expressions as well as DCLS modulation in order to provide maximum flexibility.

ITS can be configured to support the most extended IRIG-B time codes to provide higher compatibility with the majority of IRIG-B masters / time transmitters in the market. This configuration can be done before implementing the IP by selecting the desired modulation type, carrier frequency, coded expression and other parameters in the FPGA design tool as well as during runtime using register based configuration.

It has been designed as a hardware-only (VHDL) IP Core. No microprocessor or software is required in order to reduce integration complexity.

Technical Support, Verification & Deliverables

Technical Support

IP Licenses are provided along with a Technical Support package that ensures a direct communication channel with our highly experienced support engineers. This is vastly valued during customer product development & integration phases.

Verification

All our IP Cores are rigorously tested, hardware-validated and verified in real-life environments. A 3-phase based IP product verification is applied:
